Connect the three pin connector of the adaptor cable into the openings at the bottom of the FM Battery Pack Cover. Be careful to get the right orientation of the pins. Do not use excessive force when connecting the cable. Connect the audio phone plug at the other end of the adaptor cable into the ‘audio out’ socket of the fmGenie receiver. Turn on the following in this order: - the transmitter - the receiver - the processor The processor will detect the receiver automatically. There is no need to select a particular program. Turn the processor to the normal volume level. Turn up the Tx volume on the receiver until a comfortable listening level is reached. Complete a listening check with the listener. It is important to leave the transmitter on during the lesson. Turning it off will create unpleasant noises for the child. The teacher should simply use the microphone mute facility (star button) on the transmitter if the child does not need to listen to the input for a time. When the teacher wants to speak to the child again, they simply press the star button again. Turn the receiver off before turning the transmitter off. When the system is not in use it should be turned off.
Troubleshooting You can use the accessories tester from Connevans (part number FMG750) to check the aerial on the Tx and the fmGenie lapel microphone with its lead. Gently wiggle or bend the leads. Intermittent connections will cause bad crackling and or interruption of sound. Make sure the lead is plugged in correctly at both ends.
You are not able to listen to the signal using this system so you are dependent on feedback from the child. Children should only be supplied with this system if they are able to give feedback on the signal they are receiving. Things to check: • Are the FM transmitter and receiver on the same channel? • Are the cables on the FM transmitter or receiver frayed or kinked? • Has the transmitting distance been exceeded? • Do the batteries for the FM transmitter and or the receiver need replacing or charging? • Is the microphone on the transmitter working? (Check using the Connevans accessories tester) • Are the FM settings set appropriately? • Have you observed areas in the classroom that can cause dead spots in the transmission by checking with the FM system yourself? • Have you tried reducing the Tx volume on the FM receiver? • Have you tried a different FM channel? • Have you replaced the adaptor cable?
